Deprecated. Use ParallelBehaviour instead. Composite behaviour with non deterministic children scheduling. It is a ComplexBehaviour that executes its children behaviours non deterministically, and it terminates when a particular condition on its sub-behaviours is met. Static Factory Methods are provided to get a NonDeterministicBehaviour that ends when all its sub-behaviours are done, when any sub-behaviour terminates or when N sub-behaviours have finished.

Method Detail

createWhenAll

public static NonDeterministicBehaviour createWhenAll()

Deprecated.

Static Factory Method. This method creates a new NonDeterministicBehaviour that terminates when all its children end. It does not set the owner agent for this behaviour.

Returns:

A new NonDeterministicBehaviour.

createWhenAll

public static NonDeterministicBehaviour createWhenAll(Agent a)

Deprecated.

Static Factory Method. This method creates a new NonDeterministicBehaviour that terminates when all its children end. It sets the owner agent for this behaviour.

Parameters:

a - The agent this behaviour belongs to.

Returns:

A new NonDeterministicBehaviour.

createWhenAny

public static NonDeterministicBehaviour createWhenAny()

Deprecated.

Static Factory Method. This method creates a new NonDeterministicBehaviour that terminates when any among its children ends. It does not set the owner agent for this behaviour.

Returns:

A new NonDeterministicBehaviour.

createWhenAny

public static NonDeterministicBehaviour createWhenAny(Agent a)

Deprecated.

Static Factory Method. This method creates a new NonDeterministicBehaviour that terminates when any among its children ends. It sets the owner agent for this behaviour.

Parameters:

a - The agent this behaviour belongs to.

Returns:

A new NonDeterministicBehaviour.

createWhenN

public static NonDeterministicBehaviour createWhenN(int howMany)

Deprecated.

Static Factory Method. This method creates a new NonDeterministicBehaviour that terminates when at least N of its children end. It does not set the owner agent for this behaviour.

Parameters:

howMany - The number of children behaviour that must terminate to make this NonDeterministicBehaviour finish.

Returns:

A new NonDeterministicBehaviour.

createWhenN

public static NonDeterministicBehaviour createWhenN(Agent a,
                                                    int howMany)

Deprecated.

Static Factory Method. This method creates a new NonDeterministicBehaviour that terminates when at least N of its children end. It sets the owner agent for this behaviour.

Parameters:

a - The agent this behaviour belongs to.

howMany - The number of children behaviour that must terminate to make this NonDeterministicBehaviour finish.

Returns:

A new NonDeterministicBehaviour.
